【 摘 要 】

Today 52 % of patients with a cancer get radiation therapy. It is developed the experimental procedure for determining the backscatter factor for Siemens Oncor Impression Plus linear accelerator. The experiments were carried out based on water phantom. This technique can be also used for other kinds of accelerators.
